- 0:01Speaker 1: Jeffuars did Jack Jackquarris did Jaguars Drive Time? Ryan Sex
- 0:09Speaker 1: steps to John O's agent Ashley Jaguars Drive Time starts
- 0:15Speaker 1: right now. From an undrafted free agents too Offensive Rookie
- 0:24Speaker 1: of the Month, congratulations to running back at James Robinson
- 0:28Speaker 1: just announced this morning he is September's Offensive Rookie of
- 0:32Speaker 1: the Month. Talk about an incredible story. We were just
- 0:35Speaker 1: finding out about this guy two months ago, Brian Sexton,
- 0:39Speaker 1: and great honor for a guy just a couple of
- 0:41Speaker 1: months ago was wondering what his future would hold. You know,
- 0:45Speaker 1: he's only the second running back in Jaguars history to
- 0:48Speaker 1: ever be named an Offensive Rookie of the Month, just
- 0:50Speaker 1: he and Fred Taylor. So that's obviously very great company
- 0:54Speaker 1: that he's in. It surprised me because I thought Maurice
- 0:57Speaker 1: Jones Drew, who had a tremendous rookie season my have
- 1:00Speaker 1: earned it as well. But no, so just Bread and
- 1:04Speaker 1: now he has been a revelation. I mean, you're talking
- 1:08Speaker 1: about a guy whose three touchdowns lead all rookies, uh
- 1:11Speaker 1: three than thirty nine yards from scrimmage are second only
- 1:15Speaker 1: to the young running back from l s U that
- 1:18Speaker 1: was drafted by the Chiefs Clyde Edwards Hilaire. I've never
- 1:23Speaker 1: heard the pronunciation um at ten rushing yards the most
- 1:28Speaker 1: into three game stretch to start the season ever by
- 1:31Speaker 1: a Jaguars rookie running back. So I mean the numbers
- 1:34Speaker 1: are superlative. I still, you know, wanting to see it
- 1:36Speaker 1: over the course of his season. Three games cannot a
- 1:39Speaker 1: career defined. But he's off to a great start and
- 1:45Speaker 1: still trying to figure this guy out. John. We're expecting,
- 1:48Speaker 1: hopefully another big game for him right now. The Bengals
- 1:52Speaker 1: run defense is second worst in the league, so you're
- 1:54Speaker 1: hoping James Robinson continues to improve because that's at least
- 1:58Speaker 1: one guy on this Jaguars team who has gotten better
- 2:00Speaker 1: every single week, a little bit better each week. Yeah.
- 2:04Speaker 1: I think the good news for the Jaguars the James
- 2:07Speaker 1: Robinson is there's no flash in the pan field, meaning
- 2:12Speaker 1: not like these two ten rushing yards have been compiled
- 2:15Speaker 1: with a ninety yard run in one game. Uh. I'll
- 2:18Speaker 1: play the old crotchety, old man football guy here. He's
- 2:23Speaker 1: very fundamentally sound. Even if he's not specacular, he's going
- 2:28Speaker 1: to be good. He's efficient, he's smart, he looks like
- 2:31Speaker 1: a long term NFL running back. There's nothing about this guy.
- 2:35Speaker 1: Let's pick up to pass receiving out of the backfield.
- 2:39Speaker 1: He does everything very well. He's stopped in one area
- 2:43Speaker 1: one game, He's still going to perform. This guy is
- 2:45Speaker 1: a fine I think he's gonna start here for a
- 2:47Speaker 1: long time and not good for him. He deserves the award. Yes,
- 2:52Speaker 1: he does. A good guy all around. As we get
- 2:54Speaker 1: into some big things past this news of Offensive Rookie
- 2:57Speaker 1: of the Month, big thing one is a big game head.
- 3:00Speaker 1: The chance to be two and two heading into this
- 3:03Speaker 1: game against the Houston Texans next week versus one and
- 3:06Speaker 1: three will be a big difference for this team. They
- 3:08Speaker 1: need to win games they are supposed to win, and
- 3:11Speaker 1: this is one of them. We spoke to the offensive
- 3:13Speaker 1: coordinator Jay Gruden yesterday who said they're not going to
- 3:16Speaker 1: make the same mistakes on offense that they did last
- 3:19Speaker 1: week against the Dolphins. You know, unfortunately, we've given up
- 3:23Speaker 1: some touchdowns on our first drive, and we've been behind
- 3:25Speaker 1: early and then we weren't able to answer against Tennessee,
- 3:28Speaker 1: More Miami or Indianapolis. So we got down and playing catchup,
- 3:31Speaker 1: and that's not easy with the young quarterback and young offense.
- 3:35Speaker 1: You know, we have to stay on track as I
- 3:36Speaker 1: have to stay at do a better job to stay
- 3:38Speaker 1: on track as a play caller and not getting too
- 3:40Speaker 1: uh panicky so to speak. I gotta make sure we
- 3:43Speaker 1: stay on track and and uh make sure we keep
- 3:45Speaker 1: the run mixed in there with the past. Last week
- 3:47Speaker 1: against Miami, Uh for I got a little too pass happy,
- 3:50Speaker 1: which uh is unfortunate. Puts our team in a tough position.
- 3:53Speaker 1: Our tackles puts our quarterback in a tough position. So
- 3:57Speaker 1: we got to do a good job of keeping balance. Um,
- 4:00Speaker 1: and it's our job to get to start and faster.
- 4:01Speaker 1: We try to make that a focal point. Last week
- 4:03Speaker 1: unfortunately didn't happen. Hopefully it will happen this week against Cincinnati,
- 4:06Speaker 1: but we have to be prepared for both scenarios. Jee
- 4:13Speaker 1: Gruden going back to his former home in Cincinnati, And
- 4:16Speaker 1: big thing too is personality. What can we say this
- 4:19Speaker 1: team does well now a month into the season. Is
- 4:22Speaker 1: this a run first team or is it morphing into
- 4:25Speaker 1: a traditional NFL offense. One thing we do know they
- 4:29Speaker 1: do well is throw the ball to d J. Chart
- 4:31Speaker 1: when he is healthy. Of course, Ja Gourden admits not
- 4:34Speaker 1: having their number one receiver on the field last week
- 4:37Speaker 1: definitely hurt them. There was a lot actually, you know,
- 4:41Speaker 1: not to make excuses, but he is uh. We talked
- 4:43Speaker 1: about one on one matchups. He's usually a guy we
- 4:45Speaker 1: want to look to in the one on one matchups.
- 4:47Speaker 1: He's our best one on one matchup player, and not
- 4:49Speaker 1: having him available kind of hurt us. And we had
- 4:51Speaker 1: a lot of formations and plays designed for him, and
- 4:53Speaker 1: we didn't really know until Wednesday afternoon, late afternoon that
- 4:56Speaker 1: he wasn't gonna be available to us, which really it's
- 4:59Speaker 1: hard to change your game plan totally from Wednesday afternoon
- 5:03Speaker 1: to Thursday night unfortunately, so that had a good impact.
- 5:07Speaker 1: But we're not gonna use that excuse. Other guys have
- 5:09Speaker 1: to step up um, and unfortunately we didn't do a
- 5:12Speaker 1: good job of that. But but DJ is definitely a
- 5:15Speaker 1: guy that's uh. Anytime he's not in a game, you're
- 5:17Speaker 1: gonna miss them for sure. Somewhat optimistic, d J Chark
- 5:23Speaker 1: back at practice yesterday wearing a red quarterback practice jersey,
- 5:26Speaker 1: basically telling everyone do not come near me as I
- 5:29Speaker 1: get ready for the Cincinnati Bengals game, and big Thing
- 5:32Speaker 1: three is pressure. They hope they can get to Bengals
- 5:35Speaker 1: quarterback Joe Burrow this week, who's been stacked in NFL
- 5:39Speaker 1: high fourteen times in three weeks. The head coach says, however,
- 5:43Speaker 1: this guy does not play like most rookies. Sometimes you
- 5:48Speaker 1: see people play um in this game and you by
- 5:53Speaker 1: nature that rookies, But they don't play like rookies. You know, Um,
- 5:56Speaker 1: by nature they may be free agents, you know, like like,
- 5:59Speaker 1: UM know, the guy we have and doesn't play like
- 6:01Speaker 1: a free agent, you know, doesn't doesn't play like a rookie. UM,
- 6:05Speaker 1: I look at at Joe Burrow as a guy that's
- 6:07Speaker 1: not not playing like that. You know, He's not a
- 6:10Speaker 1: guy that you know, his UM gets rattled. He's not
- 6:13Speaker 1: a guy that U may get confused. He's definitive on
- 6:17Speaker 1: on exactly what he's doing and his footwork. Um, you know,
- 6:21Speaker 1: Plus he has the ability to extent plays and run.
- 6:23Speaker 1: So UM, I would say what he's done is is
- 6:27Speaker 1: is a credit to him and that staff because um,
- 6:30Speaker 1: we're down an off season. To be able to be
- 6:31Speaker 1: as comfortable as he is and and and as tough
- 6:35Speaker 1: as he is in the pocket is you know, I
- 6:37Speaker 1: took my hat off film. I mean, he's done a
- 6:39Speaker 1: great job. Those are big things. Let's go back up
- 6:45Speaker 1: to Big Thing one and Big Thing three that are
- 6:47Speaker 1: kind of connected. John. The expectation for Joe Burrow going
- 6:51Speaker 1: into this season was obviously high. He's meeting those expectations.
- 6:55Speaker 1: But we go back to training camp and we're looking
- 6:57Speaker 1: at this schedule and you're saying you're picking this game. You' right,
- 7:00Speaker 1: all right, the Sincnati Bengals game is won. The Jaguar
- 7:03Speaker 1: should win now, regardless of how the teams shaped out.
- 7:07Speaker 1: That's still the mindset going in a Sunday. Well it
- 7:11Speaker 1: needs to be. But uh yeah, I'll admit I talk
- 7:15Speaker 1: about this morrow for tomorrow. I'm worried about this game.
- 7:19Speaker 1: I think the Jaguars will play well. But this Bengals team,
- 7:24Speaker 1: they're coming on. They're not gonna lose fifteen games this year.
- 7:27Speaker 1: They're gonna win at some point they haven't won yet.
- 7:30Speaker 1: Their offense is starting to play well. Burrows good. I'm
- 7:33Speaker 1: not trying to throw damp water onto the week that
- 7:35Speaker 1: the Jaguars have obviously really good chance, but this is
- 7:38Speaker 1: not a circle in red. Hey, we're gonna walk up
- 7:40Speaker 1: there and win game A. The Bengals match up skill
- 7:45Speaker 1: players wise very well against the Jaguars secondary past Rush
- 7:49Speaker 1: needs to find a way to pressure this kid and
- 7:51Speaker 1: make him look like a rookie. Brian, he doesn't looked
- 7:53Speaker 1: like a rookie yet. No. I watched him last week
- 7:58Speaker 1: and he got shock day times and this week the
- 8:00Speaker 1: story in Cincinnati is they want him to get rid
- 8:02Speaker 1: of the ball quicker. But it was really impressed. I mean,
- 8:04Speaker 1: he reminded me of Tom Brady, the way that Brady
- 8:07Speaker 1: owned the pocket. You know, he he took some hits,
- 8:09Speaker 1: but the only way a quarterback is ever going to
- 8:11Speaker 1: establish himself in the pocket is to stand in the pocket.
- 8:15Speaker 1: He was poised and he delivered some beautiful passes. You know,
- 8:18Speaker 1: I don't think this Jaguars team is good enough for
- 8:21Speaker 1: you to be able to circle anything in red and
- 8:22Speaker 1: say we should win this. This is one of the
- 8:25Speaker 1: Jaguars could win, and this is one that they need
- 8:28Speaker 1: to win because when you look at the schedule, they
- 8:30Speaker 1: go to Houston Shaun Watson JJ Watt. I know they
- 8:33Speaker 1: haven't won a game yet, but they've been the best
- 8:36Speaker 1: team in the division consistently over the last five or
- 8:38Speaker 1: six years, and then you've got the Detroit Lions coming
- 8:41Speaker 1: in and Matthew Stafford starting to play well. They beat Arizona,
- 8:45Speaker 1: who was hot at home in Phoenix. Then they get
- 8:47Speaker 1: to buy. Then they go to l A. And this
- 8:49Speaker 1: team has never won in l A. Of course, they've
- 8:51Speaker 1: never played in l A. The only place on the
- 8:52Speaker 1: West Coast they've ever won a game is Oakland, So
- 8:55Speaker 1: you know this is one of them that they need
- 8:57Speaker 1: to win so that they can have some six s.
- 9:00Speaker 1: They can come back and get ready for Houston with
- 9:03Speaker 1: a bit of confidence. Definitely a big time crush for
- 9:08Speaker 1: the Jaguars too. Well, where are you holding what you asked? John?
- 9:13Speaker 1: And win in Peoria or Albany or make in Georgia.
- 9:19Speaker 1: Make And I don't think I've ever played in any
- 9:21Speaker 1: of those cities. For sure, they would have wanted to
- 9:25Speaker 1: make in Georgia. That's weird. You're weird, John. A big
- 9:31Speaker 1: thing to the personality of this team. We all saw
- 9:35Speaker 1: DJ Chark on the practice field yesterday looking good, kind
- 9:38Speaker 1: of looking optimistic that whole play on Sunday, and they
- 9:41Speaker 1: definitely need him too, because I think more than we
- 9:44Speaker 1: expected the drop off from Chark being on the field
- 9:47Speaker 1: to not being on the field. Bride Brian was a
- 9:49Speaker 1: parent and going into you thought, all right, they have
- 9:51Speaker 1: all these receivers, you know it's gonna be okay, healing
- 9:53Speaker 1: whole of Visca. This is gonna work. It did not
- 9:56Speaker 1: work as well as they would have liked to last Thursday. No,
- 10:00Speaker 1: not without Shark. No. And I think they're growing to
- 10:03Speaker 1: that position where when charc is on the field and
- 10:05Speaker 1: the tight ends like they were in that game in Nashville,
- 10:08Speaker 1: you can see with Jay Gruden, you know how that's
- 10:11Speaker 1: coming into play, and when the pieces are healthy and
- 10:15Speaker 1: Jake Gruden, it's a big look. Don't underestimate Jay Gruden.
- 10:18Speaker 1: You did not bring Jay Gruden here to pound the
- 10:20Speaker 1: football right when you cut Leonard for debt. You didn't
- 10:24Speaker 1: plan on running James Robinson into the line of scrimmage
- 10:26Speaker 1: twenty three times a game. You don't need Jay Gruden
- 10:29Speaker 1: to do that. So what they want to see is
- 10:32Speaker 1: the offense grow into that passing offense. But right now,
- 10:36Speaker 1: it's the thing that this team does best, I think
- 10:38Speaker 1: is stopped the run. They were giving up more than
- 10:40Speaker 1: five yards per carry when last season ended, and they
- 10:43Speaker 1: were horrible the second half of last season. It was
- 10:46Speaker 1: the story of their collapse right now, three point eight
- 10:49Speaker 1: yards per carry, right and they did a tremendous job
- 10:53Speaker 1: on opening Day against Marlon Back and Jonathan Taylor, and
- 10:56Speaker 1: then they compounded that success with a big day against
- 11:00Speaker 1: Derrick Henry. Right now, this team stops the run, and
- 11:04Speaker 1: that is exactly what they needed to do coming into
- 11:07Speaker 1: the season to get better. I know the story is
- 11:09Speaker 1: pressure on the quarterback. They've got to get it. But
- 11:11Speaker 1: if you can't stop the run, there's no point in
- 11:13Speaker 1: trying to pressure the quarterback because they're never gonna throw
- 11:15Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah, John, you don't really know right now
- 11:20Speaker 1: with this Bengals team, Joe Mixing is definitely not as
- 11:22Speaker 1: successful as they would have liked him to be getting
- 11:25Speaker 1: that contract extension before the season. Granted that Cincinnati Bengals
- 11:29Speaker 1: offensive line is struggling, but the Jaguars should be able
- 11:32Speaker 1: to go in there and handle at least another week
- 11:34Speaker 1: stopping this run. Yeah, Mixing is good though, I mean
- 11:38Speaker 1: the danger is uh, this guy's struggle against the Jaguars
- 11:43Speaker 1: early last year, if you remember, and then in the
- 11:45Speaker 1: second half the season, he had more rushing yards in
- 11:47Speaker 1: any back except Derrick Henry. So he's always capable. And
- 11:51Speaker 1: what you don't want to do is sort of fall
- 11:52Speaker 1: asleep on this guy and say, Okay, we're stopping the
- 11:55Speaker 1: run better. He can't beat us, and then all of
- 11:57Speaker 1: a sudden, you can't stop him. You can't stop a
- 12:01Speaker 1: You know, I agree with Brian. They're stopping the run
- 12:03Speaker 1: very well, but they're not yet a team. I don't
- 12:06Speaker 1: think that can depend We've got this stopped, they've got
- 12:10Speaker 1: to work on stop and Joe Mixon. Uh, back to
- 12:14Speaker 1: the top of this. You can't underestimate the imports Evan
- 12:17Speaker 1: DJ Chark back right now. They are a team with
- 12:21Speaker 1: two very reliable skill players in the passing game. It's
- 12:25Speaker 1: Tyler Effort and it's DJ Chart Jan It's coming along,
- 12:30Speaker 1: but those are the three difference makers. It's not quite
- 12:33Speaker 1: ready to be a great receiver yet. Chart has to
- 12:36Speaker 1: be in there for them to have any options in
- 12:37Speaker 1: the passing game. And we will find out more about
- 12:42Speaker 1: d J Chark's status today at practice and along with
- 12:45Speaker 1: lots of press conference, very busy Thursday here in Jacksville,
- 12:48Speaker 1: Jaguars Land. When we come back, are we in? Are
- 12:51Speaker 1: we out? On some pressing topics this week as the Jaguars.

- 15:06Speaker 1: brought to you by the Field's Auto Group. He less
- 15:08Speaker 1: and scenarios that we are either going to buy into.
- 15:12Speaker 1: We're not quite there. We're out three scenarios for you.
- 15:14Speaker 1: Brian Sexton and John Osire here with me, and of
- 15:17Speaker 1: course we got to include our guy, Healing Cole in this.
- 15:21Speaker 1: Brian Sexton, heling coal stock is rising and his potential
- 15:26Speaker 1: is more than than what we have seen. Are you
- 15:29Speaker 1: in or are you out? I'm neutral on this one now.
- 15:34Speaker 1: I I know his big play potential. We've seen it
- 15:37Speaker 1: sporadically since his rookie season. We've seen some nice place
- 15:41Speaker 1: from him this year, but last week, when he had
- 15:44Speaker 1: a chance to be a featured guy, he didn't get
- 15:46Speaker 1: it done. I think as long as d J. Chark
- 15:49Speaker 1: is on the field and and a playmaker like leabiscos Chenault,
- 15:52Speaker 1: that Healing Cole will have a nice career as a
- 15:55Speaker 1: third option, maybe even as he gets better two But
- 15:59Speaker 1: I don't see him as ever being a featured guy. John,
- 16:04Speaker 1: are you neutral as well? Or are you in or
- 16:06Speaker 1: are you out? Well? I'm probably with Brian. I'm in,
- 16:11Speaker 1: but my toes barely in the water. Uh. The question
- 16:14Speaker 1: was he's rising and his potential is more than what
- 16:17Speaker 1: we've seen yet I can buy into that. I think
- 16:21Speaker 1: he can be a better, more consistent player than he
- 16:24Speaker 1: has been in the first three years of his career.
- 16:27Speaker 1: I liked him the end of last year. I thought
- 16:29Speaker 1: he recovered from a bad pat and started to show
- 16:33Speaker 1: good signs. He's continuing that. But it's okay to be
- 16:38Speaker 1: a good player in this league and play a long time.
- 16:41Speaker 1: I think it's what he's gonna be. I don't know
- 16:42Speaker 1: if he's going to Pro Bowls, but I think he's
- 16:44Speaker 1: gonna have a long career and he's he's gonna be
- 16:46Speaker 1: a good player. So sort of in sort of kind
- 16:51Speaker 1: of in possibly playing for that contract con section coming
- 16:54Speaker 1: up hopefully here in Jacksonville, alright, Scenario number two, the
- 16:59Speaker 1: Jaguars will be positive in the turnover margin after Sunday's
- 17:03Speaker 1: game in Cincinnati. As of right now, they are minus two,
- 17:07Speaker 1: so kind of sort of a big task. Brian, are
- 17:10Speaker 1: you in for are you out? I'm out on this one. Um.
- 17:17Speaker 1: I think that's part of gardner minshoes game is that
- 17:20Speaker 1: he takes chances. Um, there is a strong pass rush
- 17:25Speaker 1: in Cincinnati. It has not gotten home a lot this year. UM.
- 17:30Speaker 1: My guess is is that he loses a fumble again
- 17:33Speaker 1: this week. It seems to run in bunches with him
- 17:35Speaker 1: like it did over the second half of last season.
- 17:38Speaker 1: I I say that, Um, I know I'm out I
- 17:43Speaker 1: don't think they have positive I think they're kind of
- 17:45Speaker 1: in a downward trend where it comes to that fair enough,
- 17:50Speaker 1: honest question, John Osier, are you out as well? Now
- 17:53Speaker 1: give me give me the question again. I was the
- 17:57Speaker 1: question that they'll be pause for the season or positive
- 18:01Speaker 1: for this game? Positive for the season. Will they get
- 18:05Speaker 1: out of their minus two turnover differential? Well, then I
- 18:10Speaker 1: mean that would mean them being plus three this week.
- 18:13Speaker 1: I don't think they're gonna be plus three. I think
- 18:15Speaker 1: they'll be plus for the game, and they better be
- 18:17Speaker 1: or they're not gonna win it. So it's uh, yeah,
- 18:21Speaker 1: I mean out in terms of being positive three for
- 18:24Speaker 1: the turnover ratio. That's really huge. But I'm also out
- 18:27Speaker 1: on sex Parter is not gonna lose a fumble this week.
- 18:30Speaker 1: He'll be fine on that front. The worris will we
- 18:33Speaker 1: go down field? You know what I see? Here's what
- 18:35Speaker 1: I see. I see him scrambling outside the pocket, which
- 18:38Speaker 1: admittedly is where he's at his best, and big Carlos
- 18:42Speaker 1: Dunlap with those seven foot arms reaching out and knocking
- 18:46Speaker 1: one free from him. I just I remember last year
- 18:49Speaker 1: they kind of got into this, this this downward spiral
- 18:52Speaker 1: with turnovers, and I kind of feel like the last
- 18:55Speaker 1: two weeks that's where they've been. I don't know if
- 18:58Speaker 1: they get out of it this week. Alright, scenario number three,
- 19:04Speaker 1: Let's make it quick, guys. The defense will get more
- 19:07Speaker 1: sacks on Sunday than they have throughout the season. They
- 19:11Speaker 1: have only had three sacks this season, Brian Sexton. Will
- 19:16Speaker 1: they get three on Sunday? Are we going lesser one
- 19:20Speaker 1: to maybe none against the Bengals? But I think this
- 19:28Speaker 1: could be a big deaf The Bengals have given up
- 19:32Speaker 1: four sacks minimum in each of the first three games.
- 19:36Speaker 1: So I say the Jaguars get five. Oh there we go, John,
- 19:42Speaker 1: What about you? I think they get three, but only
- 19:45Speaker 1: three Shlan, I don't. I don't see where a huge
- 19:49Speaker 1: number is going to come from. But I think they'll
- 19:52Speaker 1: get pressure. I think they'll get right at three. Josh
- 19:56Speaker 1: all yours close to home, so to speak with can
- 20:00Speaker 1: Tucky right down the road. I think he's motivated because
- 20:02Speaker 1: there'll be people from Lexington cheering for him. I say
- 20:05Speaker 1: he gets three himself. Oh if he was playing in Kentucky.
- 20:13Speaker 1: About George, just remember I said it? Tell was it? John?
- 20:19Speaker 1: Making Georgian Macon Georgia. That's a good one. When we

- 22:51Speaker 1: trash all throughout practice the last couple of years and saying, Hi,
- 22:55Speaker 1: he was gonna sack me. We'll see if you can
- 22:57Speaker 1: do it this week. Well, of the players, he what

- 23:04Speaker 1: He has so many pass rush moves. He's I mean
- 23:07Speaker 1: he's gonna be a really really good player. Um, he's fast, athletic, lean, strong,
- 23:14Speaker 1: He's a total package. That's Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow talking
- 23:20Speaker 1: about his former L s U team made current Jaguars
- 23:23Speaker 1: defensive and Calvan Chase on big. Thanks to my good
- 23:27Speaker 1: friend Marissa, the team reporter for the Cincinnati Bengals, sharing
- 23:31Speaker 1: that sound with us. Definitely interesting to hear that standpoint
- 23:34Speaker 1: from Joe. Marissa, thanks so much for waking up with
- 23:37Speaker 1: us and joining us here on Jack's drive time. Of course, Nashala,
- 23:41Speaker 1: thank you so much for having me on and looking
- 23:43Speaker 1: forward to Sunday. Marissa. I'm not sure if we can
- 23:51Speaker 1: hear you. Brian and John, let's go ahead and bring
- 23:54Speaker 1: you in and make sure everything is all good with Marissa.
- 23:57Speaker 1: What did we think, Merissa? Do you got us now?
- 24:02Speaker 1: Can you hear me now? Possibly? Yes? No, Dan Shland
- 24:11Speaker 1: dance all right, yeah great, just what you guys wanted
- 24:15Speaker 1: from me to dance. Brian, what did you think about
- 24:19Speaker 1: that sound we've just heard from Joe Burrow talking about
- 24:21Speaker 1: Caleb and Chase on expecting a second and I kind
- 24:24Speaker 1: of took it as a little joking around about the
- 24:26Speaker 1: Bengals offensive line as well. You know what what struck
- 24:30Speaker 1: me is you think about Joe Burrow and Caleb and Jason.
- 24:34Speaker 1: Almost every week Joe Burrow has a chance to go
- 24:37Speaker 1: against one of his teammates from last year's L s
- 24:40Speaker 1: U team. What do they put fourteen or fifteen guys
- 24:42Speaker 1: into the draft? What a tremendous team L s you
- 24:45Speaker 1: had last year? Obviously the record fifteen to no national champs. Um,
- 24:49Speaker 1: but you know, to have that kind of talent in
- 24:52Speaker 1: the NFL, A quarterback going number one overall and a
- 24:55Speaker 1: pass rusher in receivers and the running back in Kansas
- 24:58Speaker 1: City whose name I still know how to pronounce, um
- 25:01Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards Hilaire. I think it's what it is. Someone
- 25:03Speaker 1: will correct me on that. I mean, just talent all
- 25:06Speaker 1: over the play. The first thing he's trutt me is
- 25:08Speaker 1: what a great L s U team, Probably one of
- 25:10Speaker 1: the most talented teams in the history of college football?
- 25:15Speaker 1: Big time? All right, let's try this again with Marissa. Marissa,
- 25:18Speaker 1: can you hear us? Can we hear you? Is everything
- 25:21Speaker 1: okay up there in Cincinnati? Well that's a whole another question.
- 25:25Speaker 1: But I can hear you actually, so hopefully you guys
- 25:28Speaker 1: can hear me and we can talk little Bengals das here. Yes, absolutely,
- 25:33Speaker 1: we can hear you now. Sorry about that, all right, Marissa,
- 25:35Speaker 1: we just heard from Joe Burrow. I'm sure it has
- 25:38Speaker 1: been incredibly exciting to cover a guy like that so far.
- 25:42Speaker 1: Has he lived up to all the expectations you guys
- 25:45Speaker 1: had for him as the first overall pick? It really has.
- 25:49Speaker 1: He has been so impressive from the moment he that
- 25:52Speaker 1: I've seen him walk into the door, just the way
- 25:55Speaker 1: he goes about his business, his demeanor. I mean, the
- 25:59Speaker 1: fact that he was voted a captain in his rookie
- 26:01Speaker 1: season when there wasn't really a typical offseason just shows
- 26:05Speaker 1: how much respect that his teammates already have for him.
- 26:08Speaker 1: He's been so impressive on the field. I know the
- 26:11Speaker 1: Bengals offensive line has had struggles through the first three
- 26:14Speaker 1: weeks of the season. Um, but Joe has just done
- 26:17Speaker 1: a tremendous job. And just what a high ceiling um
- 26:21Speaker 1: this guy has already. M sorry about the Marissa technical
- 26:45Speaker 1: issues this morning. I deeply apologize. Right, how about that
- 26:48Speaker 1: offensive line? I know they definitely have struggled at times,
- 26:52Speaker 1: but what do you think about this offensive line going
- 26:54Speaker 1: into this match? But against the Jaguars. I mean, Joe
- 26:56Speaker 1: Burrow is still being incredibly successful even with the CID.
- 27:00Speaker 1: The offensive line right now, Yeah, he has been um
- 27:04Speaker 1: and I mean that just goes to show what type
- 27:05Speaker 1: of playmaker he is and the fact that he is
- 27:08Speaker 1: able to scramble when he needs to. But this Spangles
- 27:11Speaker 1: offensive line has to figure it out. It has not
- 27:14Speaker 1: been a pretty three weeks to start the season. The
- 27:16Speaker 1: fact that they allowed eight sacks to the Philadelphia Eagles
- 27:21Speaker 1: just says so much about the inconsistent play that is happening.
- 27:25Speaker 1: You have Jonah Williams, who was the team's first round
- 27:28Speaker 1: pick a year ago, sliding into left tackle, so you
- 27:31Speaker 1: essentially have two rookies out there, since he misses into
- 27:34Speaker 1: his entire rookie season due to a shoulder injury, so
- 27:36Speaker 1: he's brand new out on the left side. UM left
- 27:39Speaker 1: guard Michael Jordan's was a fourth round pick a year ago,
- 27:42Speaker 1: so that's another young player that they're trying to get
- 27:45Speaker 1: developed and really get to to be to the caliber
- 27:48Speaker 1: that they think he can play too. And then the
- 27:51Speaker 1: right side right guard has just kind of been a
- 27:53Speaker 1: revolving door this year, with Zeger Suaphilo starting the season
- 27:57Speaker 1: then getting placed on I R with an injury, if
- 28:00Speaker 1: they had Fred Johnson and Billy Price kind of rotating
- 28:03Speaker 1: in and neither one has really been able to kind
- 28:05Speaker 1: of solidify and cement that position. And even Hedge coach
- 28:09Speaker 1: Zach Taylor said yesterday he doesn't want to make a
- 28:11Speaker 1: decision yet to which of those two guys, um if
- 28:13Speaker 1: it will be one of those two guys will go
- 28:15Speaker 1: out there and start on Sunday. And so this offensive
- 28:18Speaker 1: line has to get it together because the Bengals run
- 28:21Speaker 1: game has also struggled as well. They signed Joe Mix
- 28:24Speaker 1: into a four year extension and he has yet to
- 28:26Speaker 1: really been able to get the production that we're so
- 28:29Speaker 1: used to seeing in Cincinnati. He's been hit so often
- 28:32Speaker 1: in the backfield and and if the run game isn't going,
- 28:34Speaker 1: that means Joe Burrow is going to have to throw
- 28:36Speaker 1: it a lot, which he has already done this season
- 28:39Speaker 1: um on pace for just an absurd amount of of
- 28:42Speaker 1: past of the time. So hopefully the Bengals offense can
- 28:45Speaker 1: get to be a little bit more balanced. But heading
- 28:47Speaker 1: into Sunday, the way thinks have been trending, I think
- 28:50Speaker 1: I would give the edge to the Jags defensive line there.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Ashlyn is out in Cincinnati. Are we seeing the end
- 29:02Speaker 1: of him? I mean, I know he's an older player.
- 29:03Speaker 1: Obviously he had the injuries last year which may have
- 29:06Speaker 1: slowed him. Are we just seeing a transition to younger
- 29:10Speaker 1: receivers Tee Higgins and Tyler Boyd. Yeah. I wouldn't necessarily
- 29:15Speaker 1: say he's on his way out. The Bengals have been
- 29:17Speaker 1: very open about um wanting to sign a j to
- 29:21Speaker 1: a long term extension. They want him to remain in
- 29:23Speaker 1: Cincinnati for however much longer his career ends up playing out.
- 29:27Speaker 1: I think what we're seeing is just a little bit
- 29:29Speaker 1: of rust coming off from a j had been about
- 29:31Speaker 1: a year and a half before he had really since
- 29:34Speaker 1: he had really played in a game for the Bengals,
- 29:36Speaker 1: and so you have that factored in with he has
- 29:38Speaker 1: dealt with a few injuries, and you're bringing in a
- 29:41Speaker 1: rookie quarterback who he didn't have a true offseason with
- 29:44Speaker 1: to really kind of get that chemistry and get that
- 29:46Speaker 1: connection going. So I'm not worried about a j Um
- 29:50Speaker 1: and Joe Burrow yet, given a couple more games and
- 29:53Speaker 1: to really kind of maybe reevaluate where that relationship stands.
- 29:56Speaker 1: But I mean what you just mentioned the younger receivers.
- 29:59Speaker 1: Tyler Boyd has really started to come into his own
- 30:02Speaker 1: back to back one thousand yard receiving seasons, and then
- 30:05Speaker 1: Tee Higgins, who they just spent a second round draft
- 30:07Speaker 1: pick on, has looked pretty good so far. He's coming
- 30:10Speaker 1: off of his best game. And so I think what
- 30:12Speaker 1: you're seeing is just a lot of talent in that
- 30:14Speaker 1: Bengals receiving room. And so I guess that is a
- 30:17Speaker 1: luxury for Borrow to be able to kind of have
- 30:19Speaker 1: other options outside of a J Green to be Green,
- 30:22Speaker 1: and to be able to spread the ball around a
- 30:24Speaker 1: little bit more. Um. But I don't think there's any
- 30:26Speaker 1: indication that Green is his days as a Bengal are
- 30:30Speaker 1: going to be coming hit to an end. Where this
- 30:35Speaker 1: team's O two in one, but it doesn't feel like
- 30:38Speaker 1: go two in one. How close are they well? As
- 30:43Speaker 1: we saw in against Philadelphia last week, they had plenty
- 30:47Speaker 1: of opportunities. Uh they're down a stretch in the fourth
- 30:50Speaker 1: quarter and over time to go and win that game.
- 30:52Speaker 1: And so this is a younger team. I mean, there's
- 30:55Speaker 1: a large amount of rookies and second year players who
- 30:58Speaker 1: are out there. So this team is very close. I
- 31:00Speaker 1: think they just need to kind of get that monkey
- 31:01Speaker 1: off the back and get that first win under their belt. Um,
- 31:05Speaker 1: and to take a little bit of pressure off of
- 31:07Speaker 1: off of Burrow and this this young offense. And so
- 31:11Speaker 1: Zach Taylor to just in his second year as a
- 31:13Speaker 1: head coach. Um, we've kind of seen You've seen him
- 31:16Speaker 1: take steps to grow when I'm still play calling and
- 31:19Speaker 1: his game management. So UM, I do think this team
- 31:23Speaker 1: is close. Whether it will happen this Sunday against Jacksonville
- 31:26Speaker 1: or um in the weeks after yet to be seen.
- 31:32Speaker 1: We know the feeling here in Jacksonville, two very young
- 31:35Speaker 1: rosters matching up on Sunday in Cincinnati. Marissa Conta Pelly,
